He also took the lead in an adaptation of the classic Scottish novel, "Sunset Song" (2015), playing Ewan Tavendale. After a role in the comedy "Whiskey Galore" (2016), Guthrie found the part that would bring him to the attention of an international audience. As Abernathy, the boss of Katherine Waterston and Alison Sudol's wizarding sisters, in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" (2016) he joined the lore of the "Harry Potter" universe. He went on to star in the mountain climbing drama "Edie" (2017), and appeared in Christopher Nolan's World War II epic "Dunkirk" (2017).
